today that makes me think we making past the 1st fucking round. not 1 god-damn thing. I have seen more heart from junior high girls than these guys today. I see hustle from Novak and Burke and no one else. just a lot of standing around and losing lose balls, not boxing out, getting the ball stripped by smaller players, air-balling 12 ft jumpers, thorwing up desperation 3's. The gap in athleticism is painfully obvious. we made these guys look like an NBA team today. No balls, no heart, nothing today. I feel bad for JB. That guy and his staff coach their asses off. Actually pretty impressive that we got a share of the BIG. And I am not discounting the accomplishments of this team so far this yr. But man, it really sucks to get our asses kicked by these guys

That was my thought, too. We ALLLLL want to blow Ohio State out by 50 each game, football or basketball. We'd love to see passes bombed down the field and the points keep racking up on our side, just like we'd like to see the bball players drunking and making exciting shots. It's OSU fergodsakes. We'd all be cheering the players for humiliating them. This is nothing more than the other side of the coin. It'll pass.

Im sorry but jordan morgan isnt the guy. I know im gonna get killed for this. Im sure heworks hard but he doesnt finish. If he can slam it down, no excuse for missing a dunk when you are that tall and athletic.

I'm with you. I hate bagging on a guy who plays his heart out, but he just can't get it done. No post skills, not a great rebounder, weak with the ball, and can't finish unless he's wide open. He does run the floor really well, but there is way more to post play than that.

There are times when he knows he needs to turn it up and does so. There are more times, like the past couple games, where he is too passive a player. I, personally don't expect him to be a Sullinger, nobody does, but he doesn't have to be. When he's pumped up and rolling he is the perfect big man for Michigan, I mean that; it just doesn't happen often enough.

(Note: I want to say he turned it up for the Ohio game two weeks ago, but primarily another game not too much earlier than that game, he played awesome and was a perfect fit for the offense)

Sullinger is good, but he looks and acts like a bitch. He won't make it more than 3 seasons in the NBA. We were absolutely dominated today, I wish we would have just put Christian in more, I think he can play defense very well. MSU v. OSU will be good game, but Ohio State should pull away in the end. Hopefully we can get our stuff cleaned up before the Tournament. Hardaway is still inconsistent, doesn't get to the hole enough. Burke came down to earth, didn't to a good job distributing today when he wasn't scoring. He's only a freshman and will get so much better as he grows. Smot doesn't have great body control and gets frustrated easily and gets silly fouls. Morgan airballed a 4 foot jumper, sigh. Vogrich, Novak and Douglass all have to make more shots, but you can tell they all gave 100% effort.

In the coming years, we won't get dominated and outsized in Big Ten Games. This loss is not on Beilein, as I'm sure people will say - idiots. The only reason we made it to this game is because of the fantastic play he drew up against minnesota that gave Smot a wide open 3 that tied the game.

So, do we blame today on being tired from OT yesterday, the refs, just not big and athletic enough yet or that guy yesterday that started the thread wanting us to win against Minn then lose to Ohio so we would have a better chance in the NCAAs - I am going with blaming that guy

Just kidding, we just aren't big and athletic enough yet - more help coming next year - still think that these boys can make some noise in the tourney - not sure they can shock the world, but you never know.
